1 Scope
This Airbus Process Specification defines the requirements for Preparation of Holes in Metallic Materials for
Fastening.

The specification does not give detailed instructions; these are given in the Process Instruction (PI) / Airbus
Process Instruction (AIPI) and the work Instructions

This specification shall not be used as an inspection document.

It shall be applied when mentioned in the relevant standard, material specification or Definition Dossier.

2 Normative references
Only normative references cited in the text are listed hereafter.
The latest issue of the publication reference shall be used.
ABS1707 Hole Geometries for use with Protruding and Countersunk Head Bolts
AIPS 09-01-002 Cleaning with liquid non aqueous agents

3 Definition, applicability and limitations


3.1 Definition
Hole Tolerance The range of variation permitted in maintaining a specified dimension.
Stack A combination of materials to be assembled.

3.2 Applicability
This Airbus specification is applicable when invoked by the drawing directly or through another document for the
purpose given in the scope. When processing to AIPS 01-02-003 is required, it shall be invoked on the drawing by
the words “Preparation of holes in metallic materials for fastening in accordance with AIPS 01-02-003”. Process
instructions shall not be called on a drawing.

The processes covered within this specification are drilling, reaming, countersinking and deburring of holes for
fastening operations.
3.3 Limitations of the process
Specific drawing conditions or conditions detailed in fastener specific AIPS documentation prevail over the
requirements quoted in this specification.

Holes produced by advanced or non-conventional processes may not yield the same level of fatigue performance
as those produced by conventional axial drilling and reaming operations. Where such processes are invoked tests
may be required to confirm the design fatigue life can be achieved. Reference shall be made in such cases to M&P
or the appropriate design authority.

4 Engineering Requirements
Engineering requirements are minimum requirements specified by Responsible Engineering to ensure optimal
performance of the manufacturing process.

All Engineering requirements have to be met and controlled in production.

4.1.1.4 Hole Perpendicularity


Hole perpendicularity, Φ, shall be as defined in Figure 3 and shall generally be 90° ± 0,5°. Where tooling or
accessibility issues require manual drilling operations and the stack thickness is ≤ 6 mm and the fastener diameter
is ≤ 6,35 mm, hole perpendicularity is limited to Φ = 90° ± 1°. This extended limitation shall not be applied to flush
head fasteners installed through aerodynamic surfaces or to fasteners installed in fuel tank boundaries. For slug
and structural rivets (e. g. monel rivets installed in Ti), the hole perpendicularity shall be 90° ± 0,5° in any case.

4.1.1.5 Hole / Countersink Concentricity


The concentricity, a, between hole and countersink center line shall be ≤ 0,05 mm (Figure 4) unless otherwise
specified on the drawing or in the fastener specific AIPS.

4.1.1.6 Burr limits and Deburring


4.1.1.6.1 Where the joint has to be dis-assembled following hole preparation for the application of sealant or for
other finishing treatments as required by the drawing, holes shall be deburred both at faying surfaces
and at the hole exit surface in accordance with requirements defined in this specification.

4.1.1.6.2 One way assembly (drilling / reaming without the need to disassemble and deburr) shall only be applied
when it can be demonstrated by test and by first part qualification that part-to part-contact is maintained
throughout the drilling / reaming operation, that interface burrs at fastener positions do not exceed
0,05mm, and that the mechanical performance requirements of the joint can be met.

4.1.1.6.3 Burrs at hole exit (nut or collar seating) surface shall be removed where ever practical. Where it is not
practical to remove hole exit burrs they shall not exceed 0,10mm. In addition, where burrs are not
removed they shall not impede the ability to meet fastener seating requirements as defined in the
fastener specific AIPS.

4.1.1.6.4 Excessive chamfering of hole edges during deburring operations shall be avoided. Resultant chamfers
or radii at hole edges shall not exceed 0,20mm.

4.1.1.6.5 For hole edges at fastener seating surface refer to ABS1707 or fastener specific AIPS.

4.1.2 Hole integrity


4.1.2.1 Surface Finish
Unless otherwise specified on the drawing or in fastener specific AIPS documentation, the maximum permitted
roughness for holes prior to assembly shall be Ra ≤ 1,6μm after final hole preparation (e.g. reaming).

Measurements shall be performed in accordance with AITM1-0070.


4.1.2.2 Overheating
There shall be no overheating during machining, leading to detrimental effects on the material properties.
4.1.2.3 Contamination
Contamination of the hole is not allowed. Lubricants / coolants shall not have any detrimental effects on the
material or quality of the hole and surounding area. Only approved lubricants / coolants shall be used.
4.1.2.4 Damage
There shall be no damage within or around the hole (e. g. helix, tearing of metal or scratches).
4.1.2.5 Cleaning
All parts shall be cleaned to AIPS 09-01-002.
4.1.2.6 Performance
To ensure the mechanical performance of the assembly is not impaired, all process parameters shall be controlled
in compliance with limits defined and agreed during qualification. Any deviation from these limits shall be addressed
using non-conformance documentation.

4.2 Quality requirements


4.2.1 Manufacturing shop
The Manufacturing Shop shall be approved to the requirements of the Airbus Quality Assurance Function for the
production and supply of parts machined to this process.
4.2.2 Process
All processes shall be qualified in accordance with section 5.

All process parameters shall be frozen at the point of qualification and appropriate process and quality controls put
in place to ensure no deviation from qualification agreed parameters. Any change to process or to qualification
agreed parameters shall be subject to validation via a full first part qualification.
4.2.3 Tooling / Equipment
All tooling / equipment shall be obtained from controlled sources and shall be certified as suitable for intended use
and conforming to the requirements of this specification.
4.2.4 Personnel

4.3 Key Characteristic


Key Characteristics acc. to EN9103 are defined by responsible engineering based on a risk analysis for parts
manufactured by this process. Key characteristics shall be defined on product level and if necessary also on
process level.
They shall be subject to variation control by production organization according to EN9103.
Key Characteristics do not relieve the production organization from meeting all engineering requirements defined in
this document.

5 Technical qualification
The Technical Qualification shall be peformed according to the relevant Airbus Procedure.

Qualification trials shall include the preparation of holes in production representative materials across the full
diameter range and at stack thicknesses corresponding to the minimum and maximum thickness condition
expected in production. Sufficient tests shall be carried out to define and fix tooling and operational parameters,
and to demonstrate robust and repeatable compliance with the requirements defined in section 4 of this document.

All measuring equipment shall be suitably calibrated and shall be capable of measurement to an accuracy of 10%
of the tolerance defined in this specification.

6 First part qualification


Introducing new structural components or major changes into serial production using special manufacturing
processes (e.g. orbital or high speed drilling, one way assembly) may require a decision from Responsible
Engineering on a First Part Qualification (FPQ), according to the relevant Airbus procedure.

Main objective of an FPQ is to prove, that the inner quality of a structural part / component meets the requirements
defined in the Definition Dossier, taking into account materials, key parameters of the manufacturing process and
tooling.

7 Series Production Inspection


The manufacturing shop shall ensure appropriate inspection and quality procedures are in place to ensure the
requirements as defined in Section 4 are achived and maintained.

8 Rework
The reworking or oversizing of holes prepared in accordance with this specification shall be carried out under the
cover of non-conformance documentation.

9 Environment, health and safety


Process shall be in line with Airbus environmental policy.
Banned substances, as per relevant Airbus procedure, shall not be applied.
Hazardous materials shall comply with rules defined in relevant Airbus procedures.
